OH MY GOSH I AM SHOCKED!!! Many Sam’s Club Stores closed ABRUPTLY today with no warning!

News has spread quickly that many stores in Florida and other states were closed today with no warning and customers were left wondering what was going on! According to USA Today, some of the closed stores will be converted to Regional Distribution Centers to help fulfill their online purchases and others will close for good. This is SO disappointing for those who have closures in their area.

It was reported that in a note to staff, Sam’s Club president and CEO John Furner said that a review found some stores were hindering business at other locations, or operating in areas that had not seen the population growth that was expected.

“We’ve decided to right-size our fleet and better align our locations with our strategy,” he wrote. “We will be closing some clubs, and we notified them today. We’ll convert some of them into eCommerce fulfillment centers – to better serve the growing number of members shopping with us online and continue scaling the SamsClub.com business.”
